Who joined ICRAF when

Bjorn was DG?

Pedro was DG?

Dennis was DG?

Who will join ICRAF while Tony

is DG?

The Terminalia in ‘ICRAF

House’ was the first sign that

2011 is a year of change…

Maybe the tree was too old

Maybe the tree was neglected

Not all change is bad, we save

on cleaning service costs

Tree planting is a nice symbolic act, but we ran out of

Objectives for Science Week 2011, World Agroforestry Centre1. Be a global networked science organization for at least 1 week per

year: explore new links, new ideas, bonding, new impact pathways2. Welcome close partners and show them the kitchen & how we cook3. Get new ideas on big-picture science4. Share our work, get critical feedback in peer groups5. Manage the input/output ratio: winning proposals and manuscripts

accepted after peer review6. Methods&disciplines: update yourself, know cutting edge in your field7. Better understand the GRP/CRP framing of research approaches,

partnerships & impact pathways8. Get ready for 3600 M&E: clarify and test assumptions of theory of

change (ex ante impact model) while producing agreed outputs, helping output/outcome processes and ex-post impact studies

9. Organizational housekeeping10. Celebrate DG transition

ICRAF’s website shows we have a few challen-ges with our ‘manage-ment team’….

Deforestation is often measured in ‘football fields per hour’; is football compatible with

avoided deforestation?

For example, “Amazon destruction has accelerated to record levels, according to figures released by the Brazilian government. The annual rate has reached 26,130 square km, the second highest ever - an area equivalent to about six football fields a minute are destroyed.

http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/amazon-destruction

But what if the world wants to play football, can it be done without deforestation?

Keeping trees (or at least palms…) in football fields does not reduce the fun, and

may help reduce C emissions

1) Domestication, utilization and conservation of superior agroforestry germplasm.

2) Maximizing on-farm productivity of trees and agroforestry systems.

3) Improving tree product marketing and extension for smallholders.

4) Reducing land health risks and targeting agroforestry interventions to enhance land productivity and food availability.

5) Improving the ability of farmers, ecosystems, and governments to cope with climate change.

6) Developing policies and incentives for multi- functional landscapes with trees that provide environmental services.

One picture tells more than a 1000 words

Especially, if it is a live example

Let us take a moment to celebrate how far we have come in advancing our mission. And let us redouble our efforts to making our science really count, with solutions that make a difference for tens of millions of the smallest-sale, poorest farmers in the world.

Communication planning linked to science quality

• Communication needs a target audience, appropriate media, and messages that ring a bell, make sense, raise interest

• Science quality requi-res evidence and refe-rence to emerging ge-neric theory; it may be ‘politically incorrect’, not what our key au-diences want to hear…

•Our science and development efforts depend on investors/ development agencies who have clear goals and numerical targets as performance criteria

6 parallel sessions will prioriti- ze topics for communication, planning & research priorities: A.Which surprising results do we have that are ready to be communicated to wider audiences? B. What appears to be emerging ‘good practice’ that we stimulate others to try out? C. What are the hottest unresolved questions?
